About This Book
Karma Wilson's 'Horseplay' is a delightful rhyming chapter book about a farmer's comical struggle to manage his boisterous horses. These equine friends love to play all night and sleep all day, much to the farmer's frustration. The story explores themes of mischief, the joy of play, and the challenge of setting boundaries, all wrapped in a lighthearted, rhythmic narrative. It's an excellent read-aloud for younger children and an engaging early reader for those ready for short chapters, offering pure entertainment and gentle lessons about routines and cooperation.
